2024 XLT tailgate removal kit

Are we susposed to get a dummy plug kit for the tailgate harness truck side when removing the tailgate? I have two large connectors that go to the gate. I had a kit that came in the glove box for my 2019 Lariet. But nothing for this 2024 xlt with just backup camera and power unlock/lock gate latch.
Can't see exposing the truck side to open road mud,salt etc when the gate is off.

My 2024 F350 XLT with the 360-degree camera system came with a dummy plug kit. Tailgate off, truck camper loaded.

My 2019 Lariet with 360 also had the plugs but this one nothing. 2 large ones from the gate. One for power lock/release and backup camera.
I'll have to put a zip lock bag and zip tie them to keep them clean for now

I've heard they are sometimes placed in a bag under one of the seats, instead of in the glove box. You might have to poke around to find it.

Are there any part numbers on the kit or the parts that you could share with us?
My dealer is playing dumb.

Thanks

My 2024 Lariat Ultimate CCSB came with a Tailgate Delete Cap Kit PC3T 15A562 GB4WA. FYI it’s been determined these kits are missing some wiring pins on the large jumper harness, which grounds the tailgate ajar sensors.

I found my kit. Under the seat. They work fine. I don't get the rear view camera not connected warning. Which I got on the last two trucks as well.

Wow, so no tailgate ajar warning? If not, could you post a pic of the black end connector wires, on that large jumper harness? Mine looks like the pic below. Perhaps a shot if the Ford part number on that jumper, would be super helpful!!

Thanks for your assistance.

Check out this thread on the Tremor forum. The issue is the Ford tailgate delete wiring harness is missing some grounding connection's. There are a bunch of pics and links to premade wiring pins to solution. It’s pretty easy.
